A uniform ladder rests against a frictionless wall at an angle of θ = 48.0° with respect to the ground. If the weight of the ladder is WL = 250 N, the length is L = 9.0 m, and the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is μs = 0.60, determine the distance a man with a weight of WM = 900 N can climb along the ladder before the ladder begins to slip

A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. 2 58 1 Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.5 m, a weight of WL = 63.5 N, and rests against the wall...
